The Australian 7-Point GPA Scale

Unlike the US 4.0 scale, most Australian universities use a 7-point scale. Your GPA is an average of the grade points you earn, weighted by the credit point value of each unit.

Grade Name	Code	Percentage	GPA Points
High Distinction	HD	85% - 100%	7.0
Distinction	D	75% - 84%	6.0
Credit	C	65% - 74%	5.0
Pass	P	50% - 64%	4.0
Fail	N / F	0% - 49%	0.0 (or 1.5)

Scale Variants

While the standard scale awards 0 points for a Fail, some universities use an Alternative Scale that awards 1.5 points for a Fail to lessen the impact of a single failed unit. Griffith University uses a slightly different variant where specific percentages within the Pass band award 3.5 points, and Fails can award between 0 and 3 points depending on the percentage.

Weighted Average Mark (WAM)

Your WAM is an average of your actual percentage marks across all units, weighted by the credit point value of each unit. Many universities use WAM rather than GPA to determine Honours classifications or academic standing.

Frequently Asked Questions

The calculation depends on the specific grading scale used by your institution in Australia. Generally, we map your local percentage or grade points to a standard 4.0 scale.

A competitive score usually aligns with a 3.5 to 4.0 on the standard US scale, which typically requires achieving the highest grade band (like First Class Honours or High Distinction) in Australia.

Most international universities or credential evaluators (like WES) will perform their own official conversion of your Australia grades during the admissions process. This calculator provides a highly accurate estimate.
